Candlelight — 39/365 (My last photo to 365 Photo Challenge)

Photo by Artlover, LH
Here is my last photo to 365 Photo Challenge. I did not achieve tlll 365 images, far from that goal. But my main goal was to challenge myself with nice (I hope) photos and share with them to other photo challenger. Quality over quantity, you know.
I want to thank everyone who has followed me throughout the year. I want to give special thanks to Tammy McChesney and Julie McLeod who has followed me faithfully and written comments here.
With this image I want to wish everyone a bright and happy new year.Se fler 365-fotoutmanare hos

AksonHangs on a Wall (...and HDR) — 141/365
I have tried to make an HDR (High Dynamic Range) image. I merged three RAW files in Photoshop, directly from the camera with various shutter speeds. (see picture below).

Photo by Artlover, LH
With the camera on a tripod, I took several shots with different shutter speeds with a single aperture. With low light the images were so dark here.

So here was the result after having processed the image in raw mode from Photoshop. What a difference it was. Here I have captured the dynamic range of the three merged images. Ask me how I did it if you want:-) You can also see on this site how I did it, in step by step (Note that it is in Swedish).

AksonA Movie Title — In space no one can hear you scream 3/365

An image of a film title that I have taken photographs of
Do you remember this movie? Alien (1979), directed by Ridley Scott, is one of the best science fiction / horror films I've seen and it still fascinates me. It reflects so much of our exposure as humans from feminist, social, sexual psychological, cultural, biological and technical aspects.
I have been inspired by the environments from Alien in my artwork. There are so many things that we recognize from everyday life from this movie and it makes it even scarier :-)
Have you forgotten it, watch the trailer below.

It's Alien, the 8th passenger.

Temat för Fototriss är "Så här ser det ut där jag var idag". Jag ändrade rubriken, så att den skulle bli mindre förvirrande för dagens besökare. Jag var på landet i helgen och jag tog några bilder därifrån. Hösten var långt kommen där och många löv har fallit ned på marken. Nätterna har varit kalla och nu känns det som vintern är i antågande. Jag visar upp lite löv därifrån och det får bli mitt nidrag till veckans tema till Fototriss och ett temabidrag till 365 Photo Challenge. Varsågod och njut av höstens färger.
